A student performs several experiments in which he swings a pendulum for 20-second duration. He uses a string that is 27 cm long, and he tests pendulum masses of different sizes, varying from 2 to 12 grams. He records the number of swings each pendulum makes in 20 seconds. What is the independent quantity and the dependent quantity.Be sure to include the appropriate units of measure

Respuesta :

Using it's concepts, we have that:

  • The independent variable is the pendulum mass.
  • The dependent variable is the number of swings.

What is the relation between a function and the dependent and independent variables?

A function has the following format: y = f(x).

In which each value of y is a function of one value of x, and thus, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

That is, the input of the function is the independent variable and the output is the dependent variable.

For this problem, we have that the number of swings is dependent on the mass of the pendulum, hence:

Number of Swings = f(mass).

Thus:

  • The independent variable is the pendulum mass.
  • The dependent variable is the number of swings.
